#Who are y'all choosing to date?!
1 messages · Page 1 of 1 (latest)
Have you seen the swimsuits yet? Next update might change some answers lol 😆
I like a few characters some for looks and some for personality but my choice right now is Theo.
i choose either theo or luke 🐰 i wish can marry more than one person haha because sometimes hard to choose
I have many options but also want to see which merfolk will be romanceable. since well the male one is very cute but not sure if that's the romanceable one yet
My main goal is Mark but Rafael is my second
Mark!!!
HI GUYS, im new here and I have question. I wanna date Scott but I stuck at 5 star, and when I talk to him his heart by his name is half so how long it take to go on 6 star?
i guess for now we just can have 5 hearts
That sad 😦 it gave me hope up to be his gf lol
thank you again for the info !!
i can fully understand because i also want to date theo in the game but my hearts progress just stuck at 5 hearts. maybe next update we can have more hearts and maybe date them
that would make me excited now lol 1 more month to wait XD
now just have to make some money to pay the boy lol
hahaha but yea i’m not sure when we have the dating features also, let’s just wait
for our man, we got this XC
yessss
Ooh thats true. I wonder how itll work to date merfolk 🤔
Same!
I mean I am thinking back to slight nostalgia of my very very first farming game and I picked the Mermaid wife. So little bit of nostalgia mixed in for me 😄
Aww I get that, what game was it? @gray knot
Harvest Moon: DS the mermaid Leia wsa the character I married in that game. You had to build a pond in order to marry her
Either Wakuu or Yuri 🥰
Eva, Lily or Suki !
i'm aiming for Wakuu 😍
So far the one I want to end up with is Theo, but Heart events will play a factor in the long run so we'll see. Only dateables I'll never date are the women because I am 100% straight lol. If one of them is going to be my bestie out of the bachelorettes, it be Millie (I think she's dateable).
Wonder what Denalis will be

And I bet no one can guess who I'm gonna date 
SURYAAAAAA. and nina if I was a guy character (I just don't feel the chemistry with nina as romanceable as a girl character).
and probably agung or raina once they're dateable
Holding out for Raina, I'm sure there's some plot point where that opens up. Since they won't let me romance Judge Ross or Karen. But of the dateables, give me Macy or Millie. Haven't met Nina yet.
Nina shows up in the Summer and will also show up for a Fall Festival.
Eva! 😌
Mark 100% and he better have a furry chest under that shirt
only problem is he hates chilies and goat cheese, legit 2 of my favorite things ever but we'll work it out 😉
LOL Stairway release info on their next update. I recommend you check one of the images out in I think the Announcements or Official Images channels lol. Edit- Yep, look in the Official Images lol.
a decent dusting lol, good enough XD
this is when you make two games and date each of them lol
Currently I am just playing the field and finding out more about each of the candidates. I do have more interest though in Raj, Theo, Rafael, Scott, Mark, Ben, and Surya than any of the other dateable candidates.
yessss i plan that too 🌸
Pablo 💀 it’s the tattoos man
fell inlove with Mark too and Raina but im surprised she is not a candidate 😦 i hope devs will add her as one
Mark or Pablo😍
Pablo for me is first currently. I hope he get's more heart moments. Way to many in second for me to choose as a runner up.
Rafael! We can be socially awkward together lol
I went STRAIGHT to Rafael lol. He’s such a sweet and awkward beauty.
right now i'm most interested in wakuu, theo, yuri, mark and chaem but there's not really enough content for them to say for sure yet😌 🙏
chaem looks like mulan
Alice is my digital dream waifu. Esoteric, philosophical, introverted, loves reading - but also a boss, independent, and ambitious!
Mark is the only one for me. Before he made his entrance into the game, it was Rafael. (There's a theme here.) The grump takes over from the wonderful shy boy, though. His loved items are among my own favorites (egg custard! hot cocoa! shiitake!) and we agree on chilies (though disagree on goat cheese... but that's great, too). Plus, he loves animals enough to volunteer at the shelter.
i was going to go for pablo, but the more i talked to rafael, the more i was like ❤️ plus he looks pretty similar to my husband so 
Nani or lily
Mark Luke or Scott
Zarah, Rafael, Noah & Theo
Scott or yuri, maybe rafael and definetly Mark !!!
scott/rafael ❤️
Kenny and Raj are my favorites for now 😍
Originally I was torn between Eva and Lily... then Nina happened 😍
Torn between Eva, Alice, Mark, or Rafael
Eva and Rafael are still at the top of my list, though Mark is up there too. I'm holding out to see how I like the merfolk dating options though before making a final decision. 😅 I'm probably going to make a separate farm to date each of them after full release.
Ben, Theo, or Pablo 🫣
Wakuu because I feel that whole introverted, mostly want to look at the stars and ignore people vibe
Someone finally isnt sleeping on Zaraaaahhhh
Zarah, Yuri and Pablo are my current go to dates
Surya, Kenny, Rafael, and Mark. Don't make me choose!
One thing is for sure, the game creators did a great job of making it hard for us to pick lol.
Leah won me over when I gifted her a fruit smoothie on her birthday, her blushing got to me. I'm weak 😭
Surya and Scott! What can I say... I like curious minds!!
I'll have to decide between almost all dateable characters (not Leah or Charles) and if I could, even Antonio 💀
I honestly dislike most of them, but Pablo is growing on me. As is Scott
I was for sure Lily and Zarah but Alice is looking more and more adorable everyday
was surya or nina
now semeru or miranjani.
my spouse gotta be the hottest of the hottie
I am aiming for Wakuu but i always forget to visit him in the observatory 
I am so torn between Eva and Rafael 😫 they're both a bit shy with a big heart and that's literally all I want in my life
I like Mark!
I'm aiming for Eva
At first I liked the fact that Pablo was so personable & did so much for the community, but then the bra in his room & that maybe he should return it, turned me off. I was also looking at Surya, but he seems too focused on work. So I am currently romancing Wakuu, he has his issues, but I think with a nudge or two he could come to an understanding with his father Wataru.
Pablo, Theo, Rafael
surya or theo for me
I have finally decided Semuru when that’s an option XD
But was a really tough choice so many options after all
I was choosing Pablo… but then heard his back story…
There are a lots of choices ^^" Maybe Semeru, he looks pretty cool
Althought the human bachelors seems pretty cute too so I dunno...
Someone should do one of those "Which bachelors should you date?" quiz ahah
Great I checked again the bachelors wiki and now I'm indecisive with Rafael , Noah, Scott and Semeru XD
Theo, Kenny, Surya and Semeru
Pablo even if there is some questionable things about him
One too many
whats his backstory
Something about being with Charles ex , found a bra in his room and basically being a player
Something like that
I'm stuck between Scott, Theo, and Luke. I initially was going for Scott but then got to know the other two more and now idk 😭.
Raphael, Theo or Kenny all the way ! I thought this update would give us boyfriends option ? I'm full hearts with Raph, but nothing happens
Lily 😌 i need my cute nerdy computer geek wife
Mark, Semeru, Eva, Denali, or Raphael! I have too many options omg
can we somehow unlock the last 2 on hearts or is that a next update thing ? can we start dating them ?
I was going for Mark but he's been kinda turning me off with his comments LOL so now im on Rafael
Wakuu! Idk just something about him made me want that choice
riiight , same here
Good thing you can have many saves then lol
so we cant actually date date them just yet can we ?
Nope not yet, townsfolk dating/marriage is 1.0, merfolk sometime after that is the plan
ok cool thankyou
Agreed. Saw his face and immediately bought the game 😆
Mark,Rafael,Scott,Theo and now Semaru are adding to my list. 
Theo and Wakuu have my whole heart!
Do you guys know if someone already made one of those quizzes that tells you which bachelor you should date? Given all the choices it's going to be hard to pick one ^^"
saaame
ohh I'm interested to make one 😂
Scott (cuz archaeology and that's what I do lol) or Rafael. Mark and Eva are also up there. So many good candidates lol
Semeru 😂 I love me an enemies-to-lovers trope.
I was thinking about Pablo but heard some are having issues with his backstory but I don’t know why. I know about the purple bra but that’s not Suki’s. It belongs to an ex, which he tells you.
I’m at 8 hearts and haven’t seen this dialogue at all 😱
For me? Rafael. Forever and always. Until Semeru unlocks then I’m gonna have to start a whole new save
So || Charles and Brooke were engaged, she cheated and their relationship ended. Pablo has a purple bra in his room that belongs to Brooke || and no one knows when he started seeing her or if it overlaps with her previous relationship
So it’s all speculation is what I’m saying: whether he knew, whether it was during the relationship etc etc
I see. I don’t blame Pablo for that…lol.
Some people decided he’s no good from it. Others give him the benefit of the doubt. But who knows if we’ll ever know the full story
I haven’t unlocked the rest of Charles’ events could be we learn from him
I gotta say, I love that all of Pablo's heart events were just Rafael heart events 2.0
I do like the fact that Pablo cares a lot about his little brother.
I have no idea. I was originally going to go with Alice but I'm not sure anymore.
I’m planning on Noah or Suki. But merfolk wise I like the princess so probably gonna have multiple saves lol.
Aaliyah 🥰 I too have always wanted to go to space
I chose Pablo but I’m skeptical of his back story and he is a flirt…. But I do like him …
For me it’s Wakuu or Semeru. I just wish all the characters had more lines and I feel like I’m almost there romancing Wakuu and can’t get it to go any further.
I really like Raj. He has coffee and I need my morning coffee! 
Well Semeru you won’t be able to romance until like well into 2024. None of the dynamic dialogue or full romance will be finished until 1.0 so you literally can’t get it to go further
They*** Raj is NB
Heck yeah representation!
Alice
Everyone, eventually. Scott first, though. But everyone.
Raj is so far the number one contender but it’s so hard to choose! Was Kenny but friends kept making fun of me for “dating myself” 😂
Whoops! I really didn't know and I'm not even sure, if Raj and I ever talked about this. I mostly go to them for the coffee. 😅 And I didn't play in a while and was busy with the seafolk lately. But I really appreciate the reminder. Thank you! Really! (Damn I hate that by text it isn't always clear, if someone is sarcastic about something. I'm not! I swear! 😭)
You are so so good!!! No one would know because they don’t mention it hit it’s nice to see the other townies talk about them and use the “they/them” pronouns
I tried raj but seems like he’s harder to date no?
I will definitely check this out. But maybe there was something lost in translations, because in German... well, I'm not 100% sure what NB use, but it's not they/them. Except they simply use the English they/them for themselfs. I don't have NB friends and I don't know any NB either (obviously due to my lack of knowledge), but I would really like to know now for future using of correct pronouns.
He is, but it's worth it. Like probably every romance, once you get to the core of it. The devs are doing a great job.
They*
True but yeah I originally choose Pablo but his back story I don’t know if I want to pursue him or not
Yeah, definitely! So in American English we typically use they/them but every NB has their own preferred pronouns
Like some people like he/they or she/they or they/them. Then there’s neopronouns which can pretty much be anything but typically ze/zey/zem
Raphael....he seems like the sweet and quiet type who loves a good night in.
What I like about Pablo is that he's more lively than his brother. Also, despite him being a flirt he also likes to help people. I see him as the typical guy one who actually cares.
Yeah that’s true he’s more lively less shy.. his brother his shy and awkward .. but he does show he cares and helps out
Probably Kenny. I think he's a really sweet character. I love his kindness and compassion, and his love and gentleness with animals. I think he seems like a very down-to-earth and loving individual.
I also really like Rafael and Surya too. I think all three are so sweet. Really, I think all the characters have strong suits and are all lovable, but those three are my favorite of the guys. 
I feel a lot of attraction to Kenny because he loves and values what I love and value too. I love how sweet he is. 💖
It's a toss up between Scott, Nina, and Pablo. Probably Scott first.
I will marry Scott and then either Rafael or Theo. I hope the 1.0 update isn’t too far away 🫨
I am working on my relationship with Wakuu and Semeru. Can’t wait for 1.0 so I can continue the romancing!! It feels stuck!!
Semeru (and all the merfolk) isn’t level up-able yet so you can’t work on relationships with him
Mark all the way for me. Pablo and Wakuu are contenders though. If they make Axel an option... it's going to be him, and Mark!
Wakuu, Noah and Nina have my heart 🥺
definitely nina and i like leah but i hate her portay she always showing her side look wish theres like a front view
My choice is either Luke for land or the Guard for merfolk 🧜♂️ not sure yet 🤔
Wakuu for first save, but after that I'm going to have a really hard time choosing...
She starts showing her front view once you start gaining hearts with her
@arctic furnace Mark gave us a dumb nickname and I was already pretty sold but then he said he ran the animal shelter and I have been down SO BAD ever since. Plus his swimsuit...............

I want Agung. I will settle begrudginly for Semuru. #whatsagirlgottado
Raj or noah i like their story compared to pablo’s. I was going to pick pablo but certain things I have seen have thrown me off. The other guys seem more my type
I have no idea who to choose...
Pablo!! Idk he fine
It's hard to pick one... I like Theo and Mark, but I'm quite curious about Semeru, the merfolk. Can't wait to see his heart events to make my final choice
MY primary save is Pablo. On subsequent saves, I plan to check out Raphael, and Noah
Alice for sure 
Macy is my first choice then Alice
how exactly do you date them i understand the hearts system but when do you actually date them and how
It will be available in 1.0! Merfolk beta folks got to try giving a locket 🙂 but no story attached to that yet, just status change in name only
WAKUU!
Going for Rafael. He's just a sweetheart.
Maybe in a future save, I'll go for Scott. He gives me The Mummy Era Brendan Fraser vibes in the best way.
Semuru because he cool
Haven’t been on lately because of school what is this coral island 1.0!!? I saw about?
Full release date on November 14. It will officially be out of early access.
Let’s hope it stops sticking on the steam deck 😢😔
But then we lose our current saves???
Yes, you only get to keep your money if you do New Game +
Surya is my main squeeze for now. But I’m also interested in getting to know Suki and Noah more.
THAT'S IT! I kept wondering why Scott seemed so familiar. He really does give off those Brendan Fraser vibes!
would take him but game says no
Scott is 100% Ross Gellar and I can’t be convinced otherwise
Semuru when Merfolk are romancable. However, for the time being, gimme Noah 💙
After the trailer dropped I'm seriously considering Surya O///O
Surya and Macy!
I was diggin' Mark for the longest, probably because of his resemblance to my husband. Guess I have a type! 😉 Several of them have such great qualities, though. I might have to have multiple saves going with different people. I had Scott and Pablo on my list as dating material, but then I started talking to Raf. He's so sweet and awkward and makes me want to go AWWWWW! Definitely husband material!
I'm also super curious on how the whole Merfolk romance is going to play out. Should probably have a home there first, though.
I'm having a dilemma between whether I want Chaem or Suki first 😭 Chaem is who I was first swooning over, but Suki's personality is so gorgeous!
I want to marry with my cow 🐮
I say Suki and Alice. Both have such vibrant personalities
Chaem's so masc though
my poor gay heart can't handle this
I originally said Theo, but now Semeru is giving him a run for his money and he doesn't even have any heart events yet. Here's hoping that the Merfolk romance part comes sooner than later when it comes to 2024 stuff.
originally was gonna go for Raphael or Ben but then I saw Kenny's swimsuit and everything changed
Wait!!!! Who is this handsome??? Denied Agung and this guy?? Heartbroken. 💔
A minor npc u cant even befriend 
You will be able to befriend in 1.0
but what about romance
No one chose Wakuu? 😭
There are many people who love Wakuu, don’t worry
I want to romance semeru but then i feel ive betrayed wakuu. Lol
Semeru isn’t going to be available until 2024 so there’s nothing to worry about there
Hopefully Agung too.
Agung will not be available to romance ever
First Theo, then Wakuu.
Axel Mark but like... Semeru is right there... I can't really decide.
I'm not sure if this question has been addressed, but I'm a little confused on the timeline. Will the dating/hangouts be available in November, as well as marriage? Or will marriage be available first (in Nov), and dating/hangouts will be released in 2024?
Seems like marriage before dating would be a bit strange, but I'm certainly not going to turn my nose up at it if this is the case!
It’s a separate feature (hangouts/dating) distinct from dating
/marriage mechanic
The word ‘dating’ was likely included in its line on the roadmap bc if you are in a relationship with the NPC, then the game calls it a ‘date’, but at its core it will be the ‘hangout’ mechanic
The guess (& this is based on bc I know I specifically requested this feature in feedback) is that the hangout mechanic will follow similar style to that which exists in the my time game series (my time at Portia & my time at sand rock)
Wherein, you get to set a hangout day & time with NPCs, during which you can partake in special mini games &/or events, these can potentially also be a way to further increase heart levels with them, & may even have special dialogue (but again, this is pure speculation as to the details)
Gotcha! So "Have a drink with me, I love you, let's get married" is going to be separate from "Hey friend, let's go play trivia and sing karaoke at the tavern"?
I wonder if the NPCs can initiate dates/marriage proposals/etc, or if that is left exclusively to the player? I also wonder at what heart level you can begin dating. I'm thinking it may go along the lines of: dating - 4 hearts, engaged - 8 hearts, marriage - 9 hearts, children - 10 hearts. It's just a guess, but either way, this is going to be a fun adventure!
Thanks Bee!
Wakuu at first and then when possible Semeru
Yeah, pretty much. You can do the whole "I love you, get married" to any townie LI come 1.0, but not the "trivia and karaoke"
Relationship status changes you can start dating at 8 hearts (must gift an item) & you can propose iirc at 10 hearts (must have max house upgrade with upstairs rooms & gif an item) 
I choose Wakuu
I love u 😭😭😭

Extremely belated but fellow Wakuu fan here
You're never too late to reveal it.
I already have mark at 8 hearts, hes so gorgeous i cant...
late to the party but everything was up in the air in terms of relationship potential... until Semeru got announced and that was that for my main save file 🤣
no-one on my first playthrough
Semeru 😩😩❤️
It was gonna be Pablo, but then Scott started getting flirty and surprised me
I did like Scott and Kenny at first, but both started acting like guy friends I have in real life lol. So they got friend-zone pretty quickly.
I was all about Rafael and Mark, but Scott slid in at the eleventh hour, and now I don't know what to do.
Saaaame! Mark is like my husband, down to his looks and demeanor (what can I say, I have a type). Rafael is so sweet and is definitely marriage material, but Scott showed up with his silly/flirty self, and I just can't.
I gotta know how the whole marriage/kids thing is going to work with Semeru. I still can't help by try vying for his attention when I'm down there, though. I wonder when he'll be unlocked to date. v 1.0? Or in 2024? Hmm...
It’ll be a post 1.0 update in 2024 🦈
M a c y. With all my heart.
For the guy side, ... Wakuu, Theo or Semeru. 
In my head (lorewise) Macy will ge 'promoting' my farm, taking the greatest pictures of my animals/crops n stuff and help me sell stuff better. Make the ranch living 'cooler', while I support her passion for photography and.. Stephen. I frickin' love her lobster.
Rafael!!! or Theo lol they have my HEART
At first I had a crush on Kenny but the batting suits turned me off 😆 I have a soft spot for men with strong family values.... so Theo, Noah and Mark are possibilities .... But I really don't know !!! I think the hearth scenes will help me to figure it out. 😅
If the bathing suit is the only thing stopping you from pursuing a character who is otherwise a good person in your eyes, I'd like to encourage you to reconsider.
Absolutely! I'm not over him completely 😅 he's so sweet 😊
True! I think I was just never into the country boy type to begin with and was hoping his swimsuit/other outfits might show a different side of him but no my man triples down and continues to wear the hat and bandana scarf too* 😂 good for him but with so many options sometimes you gotta narrow down over silly things :p
Yeah, I first narrow down chars by physical appearance because I want to be physically attracted. Then I go by personality and it is the little things (and Heart events) that really seal the deal. OH! Their interests help too. Like out of the 'land dateables' I narrowed it down to Theo because of his interests and heart events. Plus I love his family too. Would totally be friends with someone like Lily and I adore Jim too.
I’m gonna go for Rafael, Mark, Theo, or Semeru. Most likely Semeru or Rafael though lol
Im getting all of them to max hearts and waiting for a polygamy mod/update coz i cant choose
I'm just gonna follow my heart as I get to know them.
I liked Agung when i first saw him but unfortunately not one of the singles, disappointed in that. So plan b...
All of them eventually, but Suki first
Haven't played the game yet but on first glance i like Mark or Alice
Wakuuuu & im torn between Luke & Theo
Damn, no one is going for my girl Yuri. Guess I get to keep her all to myself!
I know some people love Yuri, e.g. @placid meadow. You may have to fight her.
My first choice since alpha has been Theo, with Rafael in a close second, but now I'm also considering Semeru (prob make a new save when the merfolk romances release) and Raj 
I thought maybe Luke or Leah at first. But then Denali and Semeru showed up and I hope for one of them in future updates
pablo 😍😍😍
Mark and only ever Mark!
